Disk encryption password twice

So... I did install dracut and accept all conflicts. Unexpected consequence: I now have to enter my disk encryption password twice instead of just once, before arriving at the Garuda (Gnome) login screen. Does this ring a bell? My system info:

I had the same issue migrating to dracut with LUKS. This helped me:

then
sudo dracut-rebuild
Then you can restart and it should pass on the LUKS key from GRUB correctly so you won’t have to enter it twice.

Thank you, this worked for me as well. :+1:
